@rNineTOwner I have moved your post to this stickied thread that should answer what you need to know.
Please have a read back through the posts for ideas to get the job done.

Lawrence I have moved your post into this existing thread that may be of interest to read through.
In regards to the above plug, have a look at my post no.130 above which shows the plugs that are compatible with this socket.
You'd probably find one at the local auto parts store that would suffice.

I have run some tiny LED lights off that plug successfully. You would need to be aware/cautious of the power drawer of the lights you intend to use.

Cheers

@14060M I have moved your post to this thread as it is more relevant to your question.
Please read back through the above posts to get some ideas to help you.

@R9t_Rider I have moved your post to this thread that already discusses wiring accessories on to your nineT.
Please have a read through all of the posts from the beginning to get an idea of what is involved. Good luck!

@DannyBomBom I have moved your post to this thread which should give you some pointers.
Also have a read of this thread for more info: GPS on the Nine-T Thread

I just read through the GPS thread and only found this info: "No 3 (positive) ....No 1 (negative) and ignore No 2"
So if you have a look at the plug attached to your bike, do you see those numbers next to the corresponding socket holes?
It's been a while since I used that GPS plug so I don't remember which pin lines up with which socket.

Update: have a read of post #98 in this thread. Quite detailed describing the connections.

Is there a cord i can use to charge my iPhone that plugs into the accessory socket or, preferably, the GPS 12v plug under the LHS of the tank?
cheers, is is a special size for the accessory port?

I've used Powerlet plugs that lock in very snugly.
They have various plugs with accessory leads ready to go that you could tuck away neatly. I used a 90deg plug that didn't stick out very far.

If you still want to utilise the GPS socket, maybe get one of their battery harness's, and doctor it to wire into a suitable plug to fit the GPS power outlet.

 

[Captain]

Yes, that's it.

Any opinions on the Rowe PDM60 vs. Denali PowerHub2 Distribution Module?

Firstly you need to decide what extra add-ons you are planning for the bike.
If it's just a simple horn and light then the Denali will do just fine.
I have a similar unit on my RT and it does fine with separate circuits and all fused.
I'd say if you are thinking any more advanced equipment then the Rowe appears to be pretty sophisticated.

@Kid Thunder I have moved your post to this earlier thread that covers this topic.
Please have a read back through the above posts for your answer.
In saying that, there is one other power plug on the nineTs that you could access for power, usually for a GPS or USB outlet. It is tied to the frame on the LHS just behind the tank. Have a read of this thread for more info: GPS on the Nine-T Thread

An alternative is to hard wire an outlet if you need a higher power drawer.
This thread has more details on how to do that: Battery Charging/Tender Thread

 

[Captain]

Yes that is the correct connector tied to the frame just up under the edge of the tank.
No you do not have to lift the tank to get to it.

 

[Captain]

Is there a charging socket available, similar in concept to the one that comes on the 1200GS in the cockpit area?

An online search comes up with alot of handlebar mounted power outlets.
What is it about the 1200GS type that you are specifically after?

This is one from Touratech;

[Captain]

Found this alternative to @Lost Rider's suggestion for connecting to the canbus connector under the tank for GPS or similar. Saves splicing into the BMW wiring loom.

Can @Lost Rider or anyone else confirm that this is the correct part before I order? Certainly seems to be!

Thanks in anticipation for the help!

Hey Dave, yes that is the same size/orientation of plug you will need.
You will only use two of the wires, power & earth.

(The difference of the Touratech plug is that it's two-pin and weather sealed).

 

[Captain]

Hola.

Same post in different threads . . . we don't do that here! :|

Just be sure your charger is safe to use with GEL type batteries and you should be fine.

I don't know if the charger you have is comparable with the 9T battery,

The Deltran Battery Tenders are fine to use with AGM batteries which according to the BMW owners manual, is the type in the nineT.
So safe to use with GEL type batteries should not be an issue, right?

Thanks for your help on this.

 

[Captain]

If you don't understand I can post some piccies pointing out the contact points

Yes please, that would be a great help.

Would it matter which of the positive terminals to use as they are linked together by the flat plate they are screwed to?

I am using the Deltran brand Battery Tenders, will these be OK with the canbus system?

Thanks

BMW did indeed include the factory GPS plug,

Hi Lost Rider, could you please clarify a couple of things for me.
I spoke to my BMW mechanic about this power outlet.
He scoured all of his literature and advised the following;

• He is not aware of this plug
• The schematics only show one accessories outlet, but doesn't differentiate this GPS one from the socket mounted on the LHS
• He says the one shown on the diagram is only rated at 5v
• The wiring colours shown are not the ones he remembers on earlier GPS plugs (GS bikes?)
• He said there was a problem on previous bikes where the power outlet did not automatically shut down after a few minutes; only until the battery was almost drained!
• The current BMW Garmin units use the automotive lighter socket style plug, not a 'hardwired' plug like you have shown
• I did want to get a compatible male plug for this outlet so I could keep the wiring stock (I can change to SAE connectors if required)
• He has known BMW to change items between models and not provide sufficient technical detail

I will be mounting a standard Garmin GPS. It has the lighter socket on the end of the lead, I will change this so I can wire directly in to a controlled outlet such as the one you have shown.


Thanks for your help on this.
